NETANYA (ZINS) - A new
type of anti-diabetic drug, which
is taken orally, is now undergoing
clinical tests, both in Israel and in
Europe. The drug, whose code
name is D.I.D.-42, was developed
by Dr. Enzo Tedeschi, a senior
research chemist at the Plantex
Pharmaceutical Company here. A
senior pharmacist at another com-
pany, who is also engaged in
research, said that “Although
there are other oral anti-diabetic
drugs on the market, this one,
longer-acting, more efficient, can
be taken in lower dosages, and has
fewer side-effects.” Since the drug
(if it lives up to expectations) will
be a huge commercial success,
Plantex refuses to reveal the name
of the European company which
is also testing it It is believed,
however, that this company will
market it within the Common
Market, since this would eliminate
much of the red upe involved in
having a new drug accepted by the
various Health Ministries in the
Common Market.
House staff will in no way alter
U.S. policy.
Brzezinski’s Mideast policies and
what the American Jewish com-
munity makes of them were seen
here as a major psychological ele-
ment in President Carter’s meet-
ings with Israeli Premier Menahem
Begin.

Canadian Zionist Federation and
the B’nai B’rith, has lodged' a
strongly worded complaint with
the Quebec press council concern-
ing an article in the French-
language monthly, Ici Quebec
(Here is Quebec), terming Zionism
“the cancer of humanity."
The Canada-Israel Committee
said this was a “malicious libel,”
against Zionism, Israel and Jews in
which is now in power as the
provincial government. The maga-
zine was esublished a year ago
and has a circulation of 15,000.
“International Zionism is the gen-
eralized cancer of humanity, the
home of violent racism and the
ferment which has fed wars in the
Middle East for the last quarter of
a century,” the article said.
The March issue of the maga-
zine includes an -article accusing
Israel of poisoning shipments of
Jaffa oranges to Europe as a way
of descrediting the Palestinians
and creating sympathy to aid
Zionist fund-raising campaigns.
The Canada-Israel Committee,
based here, said "the articles are
shocking and unfortunate espe-
cially at a time when there is more
surprised at the reaction of the
Jewish community to the articles.
Chaput said: “With Jews, you
have to agree with them or they
call you racist. Jews don’t want
independence for Quebec so why
should I support independence for
Israel? What have Jews done for
the French-Canadians in Quebec?
Nothing. They have done nothing
for French Canada."
Asked about the article on the
Jaffa oranges, Chaput said: “It is
not necessarily an affirmation, but
Israel Can be expected to have
done it. The Royal Mounted

WASHINGTON, (JTA) - Mark
A. Siegel, President Carter’s link

President Carter accepted
“with regret” the resignation of
Mark A. Siegel. He said at a press
conference that the Administra-
tion’s Middle East policy “is the
proper one." In reply to ques-
Quebec society and to un-
necessarily provoke elements
within it”
Listed in the table of contents
as a collaborator in the anti-
Zionist article is Roger Delorme,
broadcaster and unsuccessful Pro-
gressive-Conservative candidate
who has been accused in the past
of anti-Semitic views. Delorme has
been quoted as saying that the
not known who leaked that in-
formation to the press or to what
purpose.
Siegel’s impending departure
represents the first major rift in
Carter’s inner circle and reflects
what is being reported to be the
dominant opinion in the Ameri-
can Jewish community over ele-
ments of the Administration’s
Middle East policy.
According to White House
sources, Siegel’s immediate prob-
lem with Carter’s policy is cen-
tered on the aircraft sales package
for Israel, Egypt and Saudi Arabia
which is opposed by many in
Congress. Siegel is said to have felt
that he was given misleading in-
formation about the sale of 60
F-15s to Saudi Arabia by
Zbigniew Brzezinski, the Presi-
dent’s National Security Advisor
tional Security Council.
It is reported here that
Brzezinski has become the focal
point of the growing coldness
between the Carter Administra-
tion and the American Jewish
leadership. The Siegel affair and
